It's a toy review for you today. Well, technically not a toy, but I don't know what else to call it. It's the Natural Contours Energie Kegel Exerciser. Just about every woman (and most men) should know by now that the human body has pelvic floor muscles, which age and childbirth can cause to lessen in strength, leading to urinary incontinence and a loss of sensation during sex. I have to confess here - I didn't buy this one. It turned up as a freebie in our XXXmas present from our friend, The Prof.
In the early 1940's, Dr Arnold Kegel discovered that strengthening these muscles also led to increased pleasure during penetrative sex. Yay him! Ever since, women have been told to do pelvic floor exercises during and after pregnancy and as they age. They're easy to do, but boring and tend to be forgotten about. Oh, and guys, you can do them too as it can help prevent farting when you don't want to. And while farts are (in general) funny, there are times when they are definitely not appropriate. As the afore-mentioned exercises can be boring and get forgotten about, there are numerous devices on the market to help women tone these muscles. Some work, others don't. Some are at the lower end of the market and others, like this one, are at the higher end of the market. I've tried many, most recently the Fun Factory Smartballs (which do work). You can even use the njoy Pure Wand as an exerciser. Still, as this turned up, I thought I'd better give it a go.
